to vote, but the inspectors lad not
the slightest reason for thinking she
attempted TO cast an illegal vote.
Their suit against her must be a
complete failure, as it lacks the very
essential elements on which alone
it must stand-that of attempting
to vote knowing the voter was not
entitled to vote, which constitutes
the fraud which is the only element
of offense.- DodgeuiIle Chronicle.

and a negro driver. We accordingly loaded
our provisions on the cart, mounted the negro
on the load TO drive and started for camp, il

After the opening Of the battle Sykes, with the

over into the city and out to support some
troops ahead of US. While Gen. Warren was

the rebels took the heads off two soldiers in
our front. / saw the men stand up for q second
without heads. A hot place it was, and the

call US, made good mark for the rebel gun
ners.
We did not remain long, but marched back

We got out on CORTLAND street, near the hos

the scale. The rebels opened on his lights,
and he did not scratch any more matches
/ there.

ies-A and Event ON the skirmish-line
| On the way Gen. Warren told Col. Winslow to

but little way, when the rebels opened fire
| ON us. Capt. Whitney took Us on all-fours
over to the tannery. The rebels had one corner
of it and We another. The wounded men lay
all around us crying for water. The Captain
| told US not TO move. Dead men were lying
thick along the wall and between the sand

About o'clock in the morning two officers
came along and told our Captain they belonged
to the I'd Mass, and wanted to bring their
men on the picket-line. They went in the
tannery, and then our Adiutant, Lieut.

ing up to Capt. Whitney he told him to bring
